Oxford Coffee Concerts Chamber Music Series @ The Holywell Music Room (1116 words) |
 | Referring to concerts held at the Holywell Music Room in 1775-6, Oxford's Musical Society declared: 'In Compliance with the earnest Request of a very considerable number of Subscribers, it is hoped, that for the future, Gentlemen will not suffer Dogs to follow them to the Room, which are a great Annoyance to the Company'. |
| The Musical Society created a permanent orchestra for the Room, comprising in 1789 six violins, two violas, one cello, one double bass, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns and two singers. |
| The Holywell Music Room is now administered by the Faculty of Music during the university term, and during holidays by Wadham College on whose land it stands. |
